Svetlana Aleksievich “Second hand time”

Oral testimonies about the Soviet past of our country and homo soveticus. A large-scale canvas of Russian life in recent decades.

Svetlana Aleksievich collected oral evidence about the Soviet country and homo soveticus. Voices heatedly and bitterly argue with the author and with each other. Each, in his own way, sews together the history of the country from patches: the Soviet Union, the 90s, the 2000s; Moscow, Belarus, remote Russian hinterland; workers, intelligentsia, students… And gradually the continent of the Soviet civilization that has gone into the past grows out of this discordant choir.

Time, 512 s.
